Nucleotidyltransferase superfamily

SCOP classification
Root:   SCOP hierarchy in SUPERFAMILY [ 0] (11)
Class:   Alpha and beta proteins (a+b) [ 53931] (334)
  Mainly antiparallel beta sheets (segregated alpha and beta regions)
Fold:   Nucleotidyltransferase [ 81302]
  core: alpha-beta-turn-beta-X-beta-(alpha); mixed beta-sheet, order of core strands: 123
Superfamily:   Nucleotidyltransferase [ 81301] (11)
Families:   Catalytic subunit of bi-partite nucleotidyltransferase [ 102932] (3)
  insert X in the core is an alpha-helix; minimal nucleotidyltransferase fold
  Kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase (KNTase), N-terminal domain [ 56708]
  insert X in the core is a beta-strand ; mixed 4-stranded sheet, order: 1243
  Poly(A) polymerase, PAP, N-terminal domain [ 81589]
  insert X in the core is an alpha-beta(2) unit; mixed 5-stranded sheet, order: 12543
  2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1, OAS1, N-terminal domain [ 102937]
  similar overall structure to the first two domains of poly(A) polymerase, PAP
  Archaeal tRNA CCA-adding enzyme catalytic domain [ 102940]
  similar overall structure to poly(A) polymerase, PAP
  DNA polymerase beta-like [ 81300] (4)
  insert X in the core is an alpha-beta(2) unit; mixed 5-stranded sheet, order: 12543; contains extra C-terminal alpha+beta subdomain
  Poly A polymerase head domain-like [ 82661] (2)
  overlaps with the N-terminal part of Pfam 01743; this family is distinct from eukaryotic PAPs
insert X in the core is an alpha-beta(2) unit; contains two extra C-terminal strands; mixed 7-stranded sheet, order: 7612543
  RelA/SpoT domain [ 102945] (2)
  Pfam 04607; ppGpp-synthetase
  GlnE-like domain [ 110933]
  Pfam 03710; Pfam coverage excludes the extra N-terminal subdomain but includes a short segment of the next domain 2
  RNA editing terminal uridyl transferase 2, RET2, catalytic domain [ 143236]
  contains insert domain of a ferredoxin-like fold
  TM1012-like [ 143239]
  insert X in the core is an alpha-beta(2) unit; contains extra C-terminal structures; mixed 7-stranded sheet, order: 6712543;

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 21 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a Nucleotidyltransferase domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 21 hidden Markov models representing the Nucleotidyltransferase superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
